SOme of these open areas are along the oceanfront which allows more homes to have ocean views. There is an active home owners association which takes care of the private roads and the community tennis courts and the numerous beach accesses through out the community. You can find Ocean Sands just past the subdivision of Spindrift and before you get to the community of Crown Point.
